Title: You Have A Laptop?
Post by: landbeforetimelover on June 08, 2007, 09:28:01 PM

I have many laptops and I was wondering if anyone else here has one.  I actually have a use for them though.  I realize that most people have no use for them.  If you do have one why do you need it?

i don't mainly because they cost a lot more and i wouldn't need the portability of a laptop either.

I don't, but my brother recently bought one at a Computer Show in Allentown we went to a few weeks ago.

The laptop is my only computer and I do have a use for it (scratch most of my messages here since late 2004 if it wasn't for putting that laptop to hopefully good use). There's also a reason why I need a laptop rather than a desktop. I'm moving every month and it would be way too difficult to cary a desktop with me every time. Moreover I often have to take the laptop to the university to hold power point presentations and the like. No way to carry a desktop around in the university library etc.

I got one. I don't have any specific use for it, outside of me taking it with me to every place they'll it. If I have to use the computer for something while out and about, and I can't access my home one, my laptop will quickly find a new use.

I have one and use it for the internet connected to the main PC to share it and able to do things I like without having to wait for my sister to get off the main PC so it does me alot of favours

Yep, worked great for college because I would return home every weekend to do work (too many party animals around me).  Plus it looks good when you connect them to hi-def TVs for picture slideshows and the like. :)

I don't, 'cause I can't afford one.

I got one last year, I'm tipping on it now. My PC was out-dated (bought it in 2000) so I was given the choice to buy a new one or a laptop. Since I was going to university I decided for the laptop.Funny enough my PC energy system went puff, so for manymonths now I only use my laptop. Funny enough I never brought it to college, haven't needed it there so far. Since I'm still living at home and communting to college it's not a big deal, but if I ever need to take it, it won't be a problem.

I have a laptop (in fact, I posting this on one), but I'm in the unusual camp of people that have no particular use for one.

I don't currently have one, but I've been debating on actually getting one sometime after I move out sometime next year. (Yeah, I have a huge future plan for myself.  I just hope things work out. :^.^:)

laptops are super cheap nowadays.  If you really need one, there's no reason for you not to have one.  They're not 20,000 anymore. :rolleyes: Now, for $320, you can get a very basic laptop that'll allow you to do basic stuff on the road. :)

My laptop rarely leaves my house. I never take it with me to town and stuff. Too much risk with too little to gain. I have no reason to have one. I'd just as soon to take a desktop because I think they're more sturdy, and because of bad experiences I had with laptos once or twice....
